Tell This Yahoo Sports Writer What You Think

This is one of the few negatively worded reviews I've seen. The guy is obviously clueless about music. This is his hard hitting razz Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down Review:

Even: Prince
Purple Rain, indeed. Look, I have no idea why the Super Bowl often has halftime shows with people who haven't been big in a decade, but whatever. I'm sure some people were really into it.

I will say the scarf was the worst idea this side of starting Grossman, and Janet Jackson has got to wonder how Prince can get away with a phallic symbol of a guitar. But considering he had to perform live in the middle of a monsoon, I think he should be complimented for neither falling down nor electrocuting himself.

Three suggestions, though: 1) Where was Morris Day? 2) Where was Chappelle? 3) If they had just let the incomparable Florida A&M band perform, it would have been 100 times the show.






I guess having a Number 1 album in several countries across the world(including the U.S) in 2006, and the Number 1 Tour of 2004 doesn't make Prince big in the last decade. Also the Chappelle thing is really getting old. Originally that show aired months before the Musicology Tour. This guy is real hip.

Here is where you can send comments to if you so desire:

I don't necessarily agree with him but you're not helping the Prince cause by bombarding his inbox with lonely, nutjob e-mails. Let the man have his opinion, no matter how misguided.
